Notes
'Molde' rose (Rosa 'Molde') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Its fragrant orange-red blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and again in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Mathias Tantau, Jr bred it in 1964.
Pairs well with Catnip, Clary sage, and Ornamental onion.
